The beautiful timelapse above is from Jeremy Evans, who captured it in the Mojave Desert. He said there was light pollution from Las Vegas and Los Angeles, and that the best part (besides the meteors!) is the Andromeda Galaxy passing the top right of frame near the end.

Yuri Beletsky sent this composite image from Chile, and he wrote: “A view from Atacama desert. On the night Dec 13-14 we were very lucky to witness an amazing celestial event! The ‘stars were falling from the sky’ and it was a remarkable sight. I took this image at Carnegie Las Campanas Observatory located in the south of Atacama desert in Chile. You can see numerous meteors as well as the Milky Way. One can easily recognize Orion constellation (although, for those who are in the Northern hemisphere it looks upside down). The telescopes on the foreground are the 6.5-m Magellans (Baade and Clay). I hope you’ll enjoy the view!” Thank you, Yuri!Visit Yuri on Facebook.
